Ingredients

• 200 grams Sesame seeds
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 100 grams Honey
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 pinch Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the sesame seeds for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the honey, brown sugar, and butter. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.

Step 4

Add the toasted sesame seeds, almond flour, and a pinch of sea salt into the honey mixture. Stir well until everything is fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as it can quickly become too dark.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely in the pan. This cooling step is essential for setting the bars properly.

Step 8

Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift the bars from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut into 16 squares or your preferred size using a sharp knife.

Step 10

Store the sesame bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
